Bozzini Quartet is honored to be among the finalists for the 28th
annual Grand Prix of the Montréal Arts Council. In the Council’s choice, announced this past
January, the Quartet was noted for the ‘audacity of its artistic
direction, as well as its commitment to new music’. This local recognition comes on the heels of a
period of unprecedented international activity, spanning three continents. In the UK, The
Telegraph critic named them “one of the greatest new-music quartets in the
world”

Montréal — a cultural metropolis

are grateful that the Montréal Arts Council has recognized our efforts. It is a testament to the
vitality of Montréal’s cultural environment of which we are a product, and we feel enheartened in
return to continue to contribute to keep Montréal one of the most creative cities in the world.
Being recognized at home stirs our pride in our origins, and propels us to continue to act as
ambassadors from Montréal and it’s creative scene on stages around the world.

The winner of this year’s Grand prix will be announced March 19, 2013, at the
annual Montréal Arts Council breakfast at the Sheraton hotel. Bozzini
